nitrous oxide and Muscular Atrophy

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Muscular Atrophy in 2 studies

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream.
dinitrogen oxide : A nitrogen oxide consisting of linear unsymmetrical molecules with formula N2O. While it is the most used gaseous anaesthetic in the world, its major commercial use, due to its solubility under pressure in vegetable fats combined with its non-toxicity in low concentrations, is as an aerosol spray propellant and aerating agent for canisters of 'whipped' cream.

Muscular Atrophy: Derangement in size and number of muscle fibers occurring with aging, reduction in blood supply, or following immobilization, prolonged weightlessness, malnutrition, and particularly in denervation.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" A cumulative dose-response curve for vecuronium was constructed, and pupillary changes in response to various noxious stimuli were evaluated with concomitant recording of the Spectral-Edge-Frequency 90% (SEF90; the frequency below which 90 percent of the EEG power is located)."1.30Vecuronium dose requirement and pupillary response in a patient with olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA). ( Fukura, H; Goto, F; Kuroda, M; Morita, T; Saruki, N; Yoshikawa, D, 1998)
